Latios was Tobias' second Pokémon during his battle with Ash, after [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated Darkrai. Latios easily defeated Sceptile with [[Giga Impact|Giga Impact,]] overpowering [[Leaf Blade]] and then battled [[Ash's Swellow|Swellow]]. Swellow was unable to land a single blow on Latios and was defeated by a single [[Luster Purge]]. Ash then sent out [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] to battle the legendary Pokémon. At first Pikachu wasn't able to do much damage to Latios with the Eon Pokémon overwhelming [[Volt Tackle]], [[Quick Attack]] and [[Iron Tail]] using Giga Impact, which due to Latios' greater size and weight, was able to overpower all three attacks. Realizing that raw power wasn't enough to defeat Latios, Ash changed tactic and had Pikachu jump onto the Eon Pokémon's back and hit it with several close range [[Thunderbolt]]s. Latios used [[Light Screen]] and then threw Pikachu off and tried to finish it with its signature move Luster Purge. However Pikachu countered with a combination of [[Volt Tackle]] and [[Iron Tail]] which he used to charge straight into Latios' attack, resulted in a massive explosion which knocked out both Pokémon.
